I love all the pictures of your Lifers! The juvie BCNH is no exception. Good luck in tracking more down (and photographing them).
Mike, if you’ve never been to the Texas Coastal Bend, you have to make the trip. There are literally dozens of birding hotspots within an hour’s drive of me and I’ve added over 60 lifers in the 3 months I’ve lived here.
